JTIDS is a high-capacity, time division multiple access (TDMA) information distribution system providing integrated communications, relative navigation and identification capabilities. It is being developed to facilitate secure, flexible and jam-resistant data and voice transfer in real time among the dispersed and mobile elements of the military services. The most significant and unique characteristic of JTIDS is the system architecture that will provide either a broadcast mode that simultaneously interconnects all participants, or a point-to-point data communications mode for the integration of weapons systems and their command centers. A voice capability is also provided which permits voice conferencing nets among groups of users as well as a voice guard channel common to all users.
